Installation of FreeBSD on Dell D610

新换了笔记本，自然要折腾一下了。
I installed
FreeBSD5.3 on my Dell Latitude D610. Most of the procedures were
according to documents on the internet, eg. the Handbook and forum
discussions. Yet there're something specific. Here are them.
Screen resolution:
It
seems that intel 915GM/910GML is not well supported in
FreeBSD5.3/Xorg6.7. So I have to use a "vesa" driver with 1024x768
supported at maximum. Not that elegant on my 1400x1050 screen, but I
can stand it.
似乎网上有那么几个老外已经搞定了i915的问题，但是我折腾了老半天就是不行。升级到Xorg6.8.2也还是不支持i915，看来只好静静地等待6.8.3了。
Console beep:
How
to silence the annoying console beep? There are a few ways here. Many
articles on the net says we can use "set nobeep" in tcsh. I'm not sure.
xset may also help in X. I havent tried that, either. Actually I
managed to disable that beep with the Sound item in GNOME's Preferences.
Mouse wheel:
I am using a usb mouse and at first its rolling wheel did not work in X. Two files were changed at last to make it function.
xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
    ...
    Option "Buttons" "5"
    Option "ZAxisMaping" "4 5"
    ...
End Section
usbd.conf
devece "Mouse"
    ...
    attach "usr/sbin/moused -z 4 -p ...
Localization:
It
took me several days working on localization. The Chinese fonts were
not graceful. Then simsun was added, yet the fonts looked murky. It was
said to be a counter-product of antialias on Chinese fonts. Finally I
made it by override the font configurations with my ~/.fonts.conf file,
in which antialias of several Chinese fonts were set to false. Similar
.fonts.conf file can be found everywhere on the net.
开始一直用的startx，后来改用gdm后出现了中文输入切换无效的情况，原来是gdm绕过了/etc/csh.login那套东西。后来把相关的东西写到~/.xprofile后搞定。
Sound:
Cause it is an intel 82801 card, so compile the kernel with
device sound
devece snd_ich
That would be ok.
